Kim Jaejoong: “I’m the worst actor in JYJ”

JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong recently said that he is the worst actor among group members.

On July 5, Kim attended a press conference for MBC’s series Dr. Jin in Gyeonggi-do. Lead actors, Song Seung Hun, Park Min Young, Lee Beom Soo, and Lee So Yeon also attended the press conference.

A reporter asked Kim, “Since all three of JYJ members are working as actors, who do you think is the best actor among them?” Kim answered, “I’m the worst.”

Kim added, “I’ve seen a musical, in which Jun Soo appeared, and TV dramas, in which Yoo Chun appeared, and I think I have to work harder.”

“People think that my character in the series is dull and going through several ordeals but he is just keeping his faith. He is getting stronger and happier so I hope the audience would consider my character is not too pitiable.”

The series is a fantasy medical drama based on the Japanese comic book written by Murakami Motoka with the same title. It is about a modern day Korean surgeon, who goes back in time to the Joseon Dynasty in the 1860s, and works there as a doctor.

Kim Jae Joong attended a reporters’ roundtable for MBC drama Time Slip Dr. Jin on July 5, alongside co-stars Song Seung Hun, Park Min Young and Lee Bum Soo, where he was asked to rank the JYJ members’ acting abilities.

And Kim Jae Joong apparently thinks his acting chops don’t cut it in comparison to his fellow members.

“I’m in last place,” said Kim Jae Joong before adding with a laugh, “I watched Junsu’s musical and Yoochun’s drama, and I think I need to work harder.”

The singer and actor has never been shy about expressing his affection for the other JYJ members, but we think it′s about time Kim Jae Joong gave himself a little more credit.
